Video: Maria Minerva, “Once Upon”

The [official video] bracket is actually necessary for Maria Minerva’s new video for "Once Upon" because it looks pretty default, like some grainy found footage of a car ride through London. It's fitting, though, the song's got a certain randomness to it, like some obscure gem you discovered on AM radio, but the quick fake out at the end is just knowing enough to reveal that it's so much more than a happy accident. Maria Minerva's album, Cabaret Cixous, is out now. (via Abeano)
